Mum hits out at trolls who slam meals she feeds daughter and claim they are 'abusive'

A fuming mum has hit back at trolls who have slammed the food she feeds her daughter amid claims it's 'abusive'.

Grace Walters grew up in the Congo and has been sharing recipes from her childhood o nline.

She launched her account, Texy Kitchen, which over time has amassed over two million followers on TikTok.

While Grace now has a legion of fans, her meals have been subjected to criticism too, the Mirror reports.

Followers have hit out at the dishes she serves up for her daughter, Zuri.

"Who would ever feed their kid that disgusting food," wrote one stranger.

Someone else posted: "My dog wouldn’t even eat that."

While a third said: "Wtf is that the baby should be getting fruit and vegetables not that c**p."

Others thought it was "abusive" and threatened to call child protective services on the mum.

Graca, who now lives in New York, hit back at the nasty comments while speaking to Today.

She told the publication: "Where I come from we don’t have baby food in containers and jars.

"I’m giving Zuri what my mother gave me. She likes curry. She likes lamb. She likes Jamaican food, too.

"It hurt my feelings a lot in the beginning. I’m not doing anything wrong."

An American doctor also agreed that the mum wasn't doing anything wrong, saying she didn't impose food restrictions on kids after they reached a year old, unless they had allergies, they could eat any food.
